Native American Programs

Project Making MedicineProject Making Medicine (PMM) is a national training program for mental health professionals from tribal and Indian Health Service agencies in the prevention and treatment of child abuse. PMM is funded by a grant from the Office of Child Abuse and Neglect in HHS and is directed by Dolores Subia BigFoot, PhD. The trainings are held in Oklahoma City, OK at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center and provides limited scholarships for lodging and some meals.

For more information about the training, including scheduled dates, please see the Indian Country Child Trauma Center website at www.icctc.org

Indian Country Child Trauma Center
The goal of the ICCTC is to develop trauma related treatment protocols, outreach materials, and service delivery guidelines specifically adapted and designed for Native American children. These treatment protocols will incorporate both common and tribal specific Native cultural perspectives and traditions; principles of current evidence-based models; and will be sufficiently flexible to accommodate the varying cultures within Native people and communities.

Native American Monograph SeriesThis project developed a series of booklets to assist individuals in better understanding issues affecting Native communities. The booklets increase the amount and quality of resource materials available to community workers so that they can assist Native American victims of crime and the general Native public. This project was funded by the Department of Justice, Office for Victims of Crime. You can download the monographs by selecting the title below:
